Question:

The floor of a hall measuring 16 meters in length and 12 meters in width is to be paved with square tiles.  If the least number of tiles are to be used, then find the number of tiles?

Options:

08

12

24

48

Correct Answer:

12

Explanation:

16, 12 → HCF = 4

Measurement of one tile = 4 × 4

Least number of tiles = \(\frac{16 × 12}{4 × 4}\) = 4 × 3 = 12
